I'd like to call a truce though
lets leave it there.
I guess for a single guy like me, I never really thought how difficult it would be for a family guy/gal if they did apply for the CPP. I'd imagine it would be close to impossible to live on a SO salary if you are used to the US/Aussie/UK lifestyle and expect to live like ex-pats do in Hong Kong.
However, wouldn't the 90% allowance for schooling be a very big incentive? Correct me if I'm wrong but is the only difference between a CPP cadet and a DESO the fact that the CPP cadet does not receive the housing allowance?
I read somewhere someone saying that they still get education for kids, medical insurance, free (discounted) flights for parents and spouses etc just not the Housing.
is this true?
Peace
